Neeko vs Qiyana

Updated May 31, 2026

Overview

Neeko has higher lane pressure and should use minion lines to angle E roots and poke with Q.
Manage disguise and W clone to create uncertainty and punish Qiyana's all-in attempts near terrain.

Trading pattern

Fish for E roots through minions and immediately follow with Q burst to punish Qiyana's mobility cooldowns.
Use W clone and disguise to bait Qiyana's E engage and counter with your crowd control.
Avoid trading when Qiyana has correct element ready or R available near terrain.

Danger windows

Qiyana is most dangerous when her R is up near terrain or river; keep distance and avoid clustered positioning.
Avoid trading when Qiyana has correct element prepared and E dash available.
Missed E roots on Neeko create vulnerability to Qiyana's burst and mobility engage.

Early game

Use E through minions early to threaten root and follow with Q burst before Qiyana commits with E.
Avoid extended trades if E misses or Qiyana has element advantage.
Keep wave near your side to maximize E angles and limit Qiyana's terrain access.

Power spikes

Neeko's level 6 R is a major all-in and teamfight power spike.
First completed AP burst item enhances Neeko's poke and burst threat.
Respect Qiyana's level 3 element setup and level 6 R terrain stun for lethal burst windows.

Win conditions

Use disguise and minion-enhanced E roots to create picks and force Qiyana out of lane.
Punish Qiyana's E commits without lethal threat with immediate burst trades.
Leverage level 6 R threat in teamfights and grouped scenarios to control space and secure kills.

Tip: For Neeko vs Qiyana, read overview, trading pattern, and danger windows first for a fast Mid lane check.
